As the project team prepares to finalize code language for the Shaping Aspen’s Built Environment – Residential Building Project and Short-Term Rental projects, we would like to thank everyone in our community who has contributed to these projects over the last many months. All of the time you have spent with our project team and staff, and the input you have provided, has greatly contributed to the proposed policies being presented before Aspen City Council.
